Collaborative Technologies

Have you ever had one of those group projects where you meet at the Library, don't finish the paper that is due the next day, and agree to work on individual parts with one person deligated as the "copy/paster" who puts everything together? Well, I have.
Last semester for my TE 301 class I was in a group of 4 who created a unit lesson plan on Michigan Geography and we needed a 10 page document that went along with our spreadsheet of the actual activities/lessons we were going to use each day for a 4 week period. The day before the assignment was due we had at least 25 e-mails floating around with small changes on each attachment and as the group facilitator I found it OVERWHELMING!
Thankfully, others have had the same problems and today there are different kinds of collaborative technologies available at no cost! Vyew is one that we learned about today, as well as Google Docs and Spreadsheets.
I'm excited to build my own knowledge of these tools as I may incorporate them into my future career in Special Education.
